Power of Elements

As the name would suggest Ganapati has brought some supernatural elements into play in this slot. Power of Elements does not only feature strange monsters but magical features and plenty of diamonds of all sorts.

The theme isn’t the only thing that brings new things onto the screen. Reels have been done away or at least transformed into a new format. Not a completely unknown one, but nevertheless something that differs greatly from the norm. What about variance, wins and specials? Read on to find out all about them.

Theme and Symbols

The background picture changes as you battle through different boss monsters, whilst the symbols, reels and effects stay much the same. Animations are the forefront, with plenty of audio effects to back them up. The theme itself is a mix of mythical beasts, diamonds and a bit of roleplaying elements. All of this works together exceedingly well.

Betting Options and Functions

No reels here, nor paylines. What options does that leave then?

Cluster pays, set in a grid of six times six symbols. If you are unfamiliar with cluster pays, it’s basically a system where vertically or horizontally adjacent matching symbols form clusters, which then pay out wins. Not very complicated, and in fact the only major difference when compared to normal reels is the number of symbols. In this setup, you need a minimum of five symbols with the maximum win payout coming with a combination of twenty symbols.

The game offers a mix of medium-high payouts coupled with somewhat high variance.

Features

The main special that this Ganapati game features is a mythical one, as the name Ganapati would lead you to believe. The name of the slot is something of a clue for that as well…

There are five different elementals that you get to battle on each spin. You need to unlock them by defeating them all in order. This is done by simply scoring the right kind of combinations. Not all combinations strike down the monster, or elementals, which means that each one will take quite a few spins, especially with the high volatility.

Every time you defeat one of these guardians you receive a one time prize. A wheel of fortune decides the multiplier of the total bet that is used.

Our Take

Though the Power of Elements slot works out nicely, and the wins in play are worthy, the interactive game style where you aim to beat the boss is not completely thought out. Yes, you receive a one time prize, but what about once you’re done with all the bosses? They should have also given some sort of bonus effect. On the other hand, the basic game offers quite a formidable paytable.
